The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop 261, Fenton Headers, and the oil lines....

As soon as my truck gets back from the exhaust shop, I'm going to fabricate my oil filter lines out of brake lines. I want to ust 3/8" if I can find them. I will get the neccessary fitting and put it together like I did my intake cooling lines. I found it pretty easy to make nice bends in these lines with an $8 bender from LMC. The male parts of the fittings come with the lines and all you need is the bender, a cutter. and a swaging tool with dyes(I think that's what they are called) so you can make double flare ends on the ends that you cut off. Then get you fitting adapters with inverted flare that fits the size of lines/fittings you are using and your off to the races.
